I have my Obi 200 setup in Brazil with an OBiLINE attached to handle the local POTS line. I have been struggling with a problem for a long time and have yet to figure out how to solve it. Each time I place a call using the POTS line there is a delay of about 15 seconds before the first ring tone. When I connect the phone directly to the outbound POTS line, bypassing the Obi, the delay is only 2 to 3 seconds. Is there a way to adjust the OBi so the delay is much less than 15 seconds?

If you need to know how we dial local numbers here it is the dialing sequence.

Local call made within the same city code: xxxx-xxxxCalls made to locations outside of our city code: 21+city code+local number (21-xx-xxxx-xxxx)International Calls: 00 + operator code (21) + country code + city code + destination phone number.Police: 190Fire: 193Ambulance: 192

I also have CallCentric on one SP and GV setup on two other SPís and there are no long delays on those lines.

Adding a # to the end of a number tells the OBi that you are not going to dial any more digits and it gets to work immediately instead of waiting for another digit or a timeout. Does that significantly reduce the delay you experience? If yes there is scope for optimising your Obi's settings.
